if I have come it hath been rather to defie then to adore thee I have brought such troops of thy professed enemies unrepented sins along with me as if I came not to commemorate but renew thy passion crucifying thee afresh and putting thee to open shame And now of what punishment shall I be thought worthy who have thus trampled under foot the Son of God and counted the blood of the Covenant an unholy thing Yet O merciful Jesu this blood is my only refuge O let this make my atonement or I perish eternally Wherefore didst thou shed it but to save sinners Neither can the merit of it be overwhelmed either by the greatness or number of sins I am a sinner a great one O let me finde its saving efficacie Be merciful unto me O God be merciful to me for my soul trusteth in thee and in the clefts of thy wounds shall be my refuge until thy Fathers indignation be over-past O thou who hast as my high Priest sacrificed for me interceed for me also and plead thy meritorious sufferings on my behalf and suffer not O my Redeemer the price of thy blood to be utterly lost And grant O Lord that as the sins I have to be forgiven are many so I may love much Lord thou seest what faint what cold affections I have towards thee O warm and enliven them and as in this Sacrament that transcendent love of thine in dying for me is shed forth so I beseech thee let it convey such grace into me as may enable me to make some returns of love O let this divine fire descend from Heaven into my soul and let my sins be the burnt offering for it to consume that there may not any corrupt affection any cursed thing be sheltered in my heart that I may never again defile that place which thou hast chosen for thy Temple Thou diedst O dear Jesu to redeem me from all iniquitie O let me not again sell my self to work wickedness but grant that I may approach thee at this time with most sincere and fixed resolutions of an entire reformation and let me receive such grace and strength from thee as may enable me faithfully to perform them Lord there are many old habituated diseases my soul groans under Here mention thy most prevailing corruptions And though I lie never so long at the Pool of Bethesda come never so often to thy Table yet unless thou be pleased to put forth thy healing virtue they will still remain uncured O thou blessed Physician of souls heal me and grant I may now so touch thee that every one of these loathsome issues may immediately staneh that thess sicknesses may not be unto death but unto the glorie of thy mercie in Pardoning to the glorie of thy grace in Purifying so polluted a wretch O Christ hear me and grant I may now approach thee with such humilitie and contrition love devotion that thou mayest vouchsafe to come unto me abide with me communicating to me thy self and all the merits of thy Passion And then O Lord let no accusations of Satan or my own conscience amaze or distract me but having peace with thee let me also have peace in my self that this Wine may make glad this Bread of life may strengthen my heart and enable me chearfully to run the way of thy Commandments Grant this merciful Saviour for thine own bowels and compassions sake EJACVLATIONS to be used at the LORDS TABLE LORD I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof I have sinned What shall I do unto thee O thou preserver of men Here recollect some of thy greatest sins If thou Lord shouldst be extream to mark what is done amiss O Lord who may abide it But with the Lord there is mercie and with him is plenteous Redemption Behold O Lord thy beloved Son in whom thou art well pleased Hearken to the crie of his blood which speaketh better things then that of Abel By his Agonie and bloodie Sweat by his Cross and Passion good Lord deliver me O Lamb of God which takest away the sins of the world grant me thy Peace O Lamb of God which takest away the sins of the world have mercy upon me Immediately before Receiving THou hast said that he that eateth thy flesh and drinketh thy blood hath eternal life Behold the servant of the Lord be it unto me according to thy word At the receiving of the Bread By thy Crucified bodie deliver me from this body of death At the receiving of the Cup O Let this blood of thine purge my conscience from dead works to serve the living God Lord if thou wilt thou canst make me clean O touch me and say I will be thou clean After Receiving WHat shal I render unto the Lord for all the benefits he hath done unto me I will take the Cup of Salvation and call upon the name of the Lord Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdome and strength and honour and glorie and blessing Therefore blessing honour glorie and power be to him that sicteth upon the Throne and to the Lamb for ever and ever Amen I have sworn and am stedfastly purposed to keep thy righteous judgements O hold thou up my goings in thy paths that my footsteps slip not A Thanksgiving after the Receiving of the Sacrament O Thou fountain of all goodness from whom everie good and perfect gift cometh and to whom all honour and glorie should be returned I desire with all the most fervent and inflamed affections of a grateful heart to bless and praise thee for those inestimable mercies thou hast vouchsafed me Lord what is man that thou shouldst so regard him as to send thy beloved Son to suffer such bitter things for him But Lord what am I the worst of men that I should have any part in this attonement who have so often despised him and his sufferings O the height and depth of this mercie of thine that art pleased to admit me to the renewing of that Covenant with thee which I have so often and so perversly broken That I who am not worthy of that dayly bread which sustains the bodie should be made partaker of this bread of life which nourisheth the soul and that the God of all puritie should vouchsafe to unite himself to so polluted a wretch O my God suffer me no more I beseech thee to turn thy grace into wantonness to make thy mercie an occasion of securitie but let this unspeakable love of thine constrain me to obedience that since my blessed Lord hath died for me I may no longer live unto my self but to him O Lord I know there is no concord between Christ and Belial therefore since he hath now been pleased to enter my heart O let me never permit any lust to chance him thence but let him that hath so dearly bought me still keep possession of me and let nothing ever take me out of his hand To
